As some of you may know, Tegra3 on the HTC OneX is a quad core, but there is a big issue (at least on my device) : Core0 can do unaligned memory access, but the others can't, unaligned access on core1/core2/core3 will trigger a SIGBUS signal which will crash the app. libav use unaligned memory access when decoding on arm, i got random SIGBUS crashes when playing h264 videos. We checked this with mru, it's not a bug in libav or vlc, so it's either the cpu itself or the kernel (version 2.6.39.4 on my device). To workaround this, i use the attached patch, which disable unaligned memory access. I never had a single SIGBUS crash since. I didn't notice any performance change, I guess it might be slower. I think we can do a little bench (edward ? :) ), and push it if it's acceptable. What do you think ? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
